What type of smoker?
Weed?
tobacco?
Pole?
 
I quit smoking 5 years ago. I tried to quit for over a decade and a half. Finally made it.

Nicotine has a vicious, vicious grip. Like that kitty in the vid.
 
I quit in September of 1980. I may have had a drunken slip or two a couple of times after, but I never bought another pack, and I know I haven't had a cigarette for way more than 25 years.
 
I dropped a 2 1/2 pack a day habit cold turkey in 1979 for two reasons.

1. The price of Cigarettes went up to 50 cents a pack and I wasn't going to pay that.

2. My wife was pregnant with my oldest daughter.

I remember buying two cartons every payday for less than $12. And same - I quit because I was reading a book that said smoking could cause fetal brain damage and lowered birth weight.

Girl was 9lb, 5oz. I coulda done with some lowered birth weight.

If there is anything as addictive as nicotine, I do not ever want to encounter that substance.
 
I quit in '87. Once in a while I have nightmares that I still smoke.....
 
I used to have those! I'd wake up "Noooooo!!! .... did you buy cigarettes? No? Then you did not smoke cigarettes."
 
One or two cigarettes over the day during the week and a couple of joints over the weekend. I've never been a twenty+ per day man, though. I only ever smoke heavily when I'm drinking.
 
My Mom and Dad quit in the 60's.

In the late 80's I heard my Dad yell to my Mom: "Where the hell did I put my cigs!"

Addiction makes you it's bitch. I've been double checking all things I do to make sure it has low impact on the rest of my life.

Yeah, there is something about cigarettes and booze. Booze force multiplies smoking. I chain smoked whenever I was drinking. It's like suicide squared!
